Your files will be delivered as soon as I get to my pc on the 23rd* around noon it should be there. Do you want the sketches for the alternative outfits or no? Ok Bri Kristine 11/15/2023 10:10 AM No one shat on you. We stopped communicating and I've been focusing on my own things. Idk how thats an issue. Either way you feel the way you do. You still owe me technically, this is why I figured paying 6k would be the better option for you so you don't have to worry about me contacting you. I could and probably should hold your files til the model is made but I wasn't goin to do that to you because I gave you my word and you gave me yours. You're the only one saying you'd go back on that tho. If playing games and being friendly is "thotting" so be it. Regardless I'm single and been single. Get over it already.

$*。°C °. Woofer. °C °.* @Woofinz I need to get this off my chest... I've seen the videos of Shizzy 'TheGawd' buzzing around this platform *。°C °. Woofer. * *.* @Woofinz Talking about deep voice vTubers: the past few days and I just need to point out some hypocrisy and bring Shizzy, 'TheGawd' mocks the deep voice vTubers but also says if your up some points. I'll speak on this categorically so that it's an easy TLDR read. For anyone who needs additional outside context: I am Woofy (Bri), I dated Shizzy 'TheGawd' at the beginning of Covid (4.20.2020) and we broke up about a year after. I worked on his first model around December of 2020. And started working on a 2.0 model in the Spring of 2023 and sent files in November 2023 but worked on additions throughout December. (Model below) MAIN COLORS- JEWELRY -DREADS 1 2 19 1 2 natural voice is deep then it's all good. Interesting considering he @Woofinz Woofer. 4 Talks about VTuber assets: He brings up VTuber assets and how there are none for melanated models, while this is true for most poc creators, this is not true for Shizzy. I am his 1.0 and tba 2.0 model designer/artist (you'd probably never know and who knows if I will receive credit in the future). I have made around 40 UNIQUE toggles from hands, to faces, to recolors and clothing for HIS model, especially since it is very unique and will not mix well with available assets that DO come in melanated shades. Even after receiving the final files, Shizzy still owes money on his 2D model and is currently behind 3 months ($1500) on his agreed upon monthly payments. I am blocked on all forms of communication so I can't even ask about it, I just have to trust that he will pay the agreed upon total of $6000 by December 2024. He has prioritized purchasing a new 3D and gummy model instead of paying towards the owed model. He is also using the exact art from the asking or crediting me (some of the assets are LITERAL copy pastes of my art from the original. Just redraw it man! I don't want to be upset with the artists but I kinda am since a lot of it is literally ripped and not redrawn). Idk who made the 3D model or gummi model but using my art without crediting or changing it is frustrating. I tried to handle things privately for months but again, blocked everywhere even email and phone. harassed a deep voiced vTuber by calling him a cancer patient or corpse model design for ha curent 3D model AND gummy model without wannabe multiple times. Shizzy also falsely accused him of having herpes (not true) and smoking packs of cigarettes (also not true) in order to get the voice he has. All of which was out of malice because the vTuber involved is close to me and would play games with me regularly. The bout of jealousy resulted in Shizzy talking poorly of the other vTuber, even if it's out of hurt, it doesn't make right. Outside of my own experience with Shizzy, a handful of people in this community Voice Act. If people want to rock a different voice from what is seen as natural, then so be it. Is some of it corny? sure. But if it's not for you, don't watch. This is a creative space and people shouldn't be ashamed to try or do something different. 7:26 PM - May 14, 2024 210.6K Views I just want to be paid so I can move on, heal, and be done with it. I've put a lot of people on a back burner for him and his model because I was promised to be paid for all the rushing and work. On top of being rushed live on streams and threatened in DMs. That's all to say... HE has assets and in 2024 assets are becoming more available and accessible to all. Not everything is going to be free, if you want a certain asset don't complain to creators that are making free assets. Please HIRE someone to make what you are looking for. People doing nice things shouldn't be s--- on for no reason. A handful of black artists and other artists are open and available to help you out. Could there be more? Absolutely. Is there an issue with artists denying service? Yes, and if they do, call them out! But so many of my fellow black creators keep ignoring the artists that ARE available for what they are looking for. I don't get it. Melanin Mafia has lists for your convenience. Again, bringing up the artists that DO refuse working with darker skin SHOULD be outed, now that's a topic I can get behind!

Saying you shouldn't force relationships based on a photo. Shizzy literally harassed myself and another vTuber because of a YCH promo I made for my community (I am single). As well as threatening the other VTuber's life because an art piece a mutual friend of ours drew of us for Christmas (not sexual, not even hugging, just standing btw. Again, not dating anyone). He even went as far as no longer hiring the artist anymore, blocking and canceling work with them just because of the art piece. I understand he's quick to anger and obsessive over me and who I talked to. This is STILL not appropriate behavior to exude. Regardless of the fine details of our relationship, innocent parties don't deserve to have their livelihood threatened a multitude of times. Even fearing to show up to conventions due to TheGawd's threats. By no means am I saying that I was perfect in our relationship with one another, but I tried my best to make a neutral space to conduct and finish our business. A lot of toxicity and poor behavior was conducted throughout the past year. I keep my mouth shut about private situations with others, I am not one to expose or talk about s--- that I can handle on my own. But when friends or money is involved, it gets a bit muddy. I have had to deal with a lot while handling my breakup with Shizzy. Between him befriending my friends and other streamers I'm close to in order to keep tabs on me or if it benefitted him (was never interested in my friends prior to our breakup).

Overview

The Shizzy "TheGawd" VTuber Racism and Doxxing Controversy refers to backlash and discourse surrounding the release of a video by VTuber Shizzy (aka TheGawd and @visecs) in which he criticizes various VTubers and aspects of VTuber culture, most notably for racism and fostering parasocial relationships. The video was criticized for doxxing the identity of VTuber Watson Amelia and using a compilation of VTubers seemingly saying the N-word, which allegedly lacked context. The clips were purportedly removed from the video. Following its release, Shizzy doubled down on the criticism several times. People also began trying to dig up dirt on Shizzy and using it to call him a hypocrite and suggest he is a predator, including claims that he was friends with several professional Super Smash Bros. players who were alleged to be predators that went on a trip to Mexico to prey on children. Purportedly, he deleted posts about taking a trip to Mexico with the players, although aspects of these claims have been contested and are unconfirmed. Shizzy denied all these claims in a response video, saying he cut ties with all accused Smash players at that time.

Background

On May 11th, 2024, VTuber TheGawd, aka Shizzy, posted a video to YouTube^[1] titled "Everything WRONG With Vtubers" in which he criticizes numerous aspects of VTuber culture and specific creators. The video includes criticisms that VTubers aren't funny, they all have the same personality, the VTuber community is full of racism, they foster parasocial relationships with their viewers and that they participate in selective outrage. The video gained over 84,000 views in four days (shown below).

Developments

Initial Criticism (Racism, Doxxing of Watson Amelia)

On May 12th, 2024, the video was shared to the subreddit /r/kurosanji^[2] in a post titled "Bad faith video slandering and doxxing Vtubers," garnering over 600 upvotes in three days. The post claims that the video was edited shortly after it was uploaded, likely due to backlash, to remove an intro segment where Shizzy plays a compilation of VTubers seemingly saying the N-word, with many of the clips supposedly taken out of context (for example, they were saying a Japanese or Chinese word that sounded like the N-word and some VTubers may not know the full context of using the word as they're Japanese), the poster writing:

Many of the clips were non-English speakers either saying things in Japanese and Chinese that sounded like the N-word or said the N-word not knowing what it meant (think the GTAV Lamar clips). The clips also included one from Takanashi Kiara saying the N-word while rushing through a song but edited out the immediate apology she gave for her mistake. The worst clip featured the real life face of Amelia Watson and connected her to her current Hololive persona.

The post goes on to claim that Shizzy is deleting negative comments to support his own arguments. He also purportedly doxxed the identity of VTuber Watson Amelia within the first minute of the video, although this was seemingly removed as well.

Shizzy's First Response

On May 12th, 2024, Shizzy uploaded a video to X^[3] responding to criticism he was receiving for the video. In the video, he pretends to apologize then further criticizes Mori Calliope for using the N-word. At the end of the video, he then apologizes for criticizing the Japanese and Korean speakers for using the word. He then shows a compilation of X posts making racist statements towards him for his criticism of the VTuber community. The video gained over 9,700 likes in three days (shown below).

Relationship With Predators Allegations

Following Shizzy's first response, some began to accuse Shizzy of being friends with alleged predators, including alleged predators from the professional Super Smash Bros. community.

For example, on May 12th, 2024, X^[4] user @SouthWestGames made a post claiming the doxxing info of Watson was taken from a YouTuber^[5] John Usada, who has several videos and memes about Jeffrey Epstein, which the user claims "worships" Epstein, garnering over 2,900 likes in three days (shown below).

On May 13th, X^[6] user @kenshirotism posted a thread alleging that Shizzy was friends with several pro Super Smash Bros. players who were alleged to be predators, sharing links to two posts on /r/smashbros^[7]^[8] that detail the allegations. The second link includes a broken video in which, purportedly, Shizzy calls out alleged Smash predators. However, the X user writes, "at first, Visecs tried to push himself as 'one of the good guys' by 'calling out' the Smash preds and making fun of them. Then the guys he was tight with were outed and he suddenly changed tune on the matter."

Another commenter on the /r/smashbros thread from 2020 also claims this, writing, "Man I like Shizzy and what was said in this clip is great, but all that shit he was tweeting the past few days rubbed me the wrong way and was honestly insulting to the victims (Talking about how the whole community is nasty and making a 'funny' skit talking about the smash community not showering and being predators) and his tune completely changed when one his close friends was outed as a groomer."

The X user also claims Shizzy went on a trip to Mexico with one of the players and that Shizzy was deleting posts related to it (thread shown below).

Shizzy's Second Response

On the night of May 13th, 2024, Shizzy posted another response video to X^[9] addressing the new set of allegations. He begins by mentioning how people are being racist towards him and again claims he's trying to defend Black VTubers, refusing to apologize.

He discusses the purported Mexico trip and calls it "nasty," saying that he cut friendships with anyone who was outed that day. Shizzy claims he did not go to Mexico with them and that he was never a pro-Smash Bros. player. The video gained over 9,500 likes in two days (seen below).

Shizzy's Final Response

On May 13th, 2024, Shizzy posted a third and "final" statement to X, garnering over 7,700 likes in two days. In the video, he denies doxxing Watson, claiming the information he shared could already be found online. He further refuses to apologize for standing up for Black VTubers.

Allegations From Woofy / Woofinz (Shizzy's Ex)

On May 14th, 2024, X^[12] user and streamer @Woofinz, who claims to be Shizzy's ex and was purportedly working on a VTuber model for him, made a thread alleging problematic behavior from Shizzy. The thread alleges that Shizzy made fun of a cancer patient and criticizes Shizzy for making fun of "deep voice" VTubers. She claims that Shizzy has not paid her for the work she did on the VTuber model.

Among other claims, she also said he deleted their Discord messages in which Shizzy acted toxic towards her, providing screenshots of the deleted DMs (shown below). The post gained over 7,800 likes in a day.

On May 15th, Shizzy responded to Woffinz through an X^[13] post admitting his fault in the DMs and that he has to get his anger "in check," garnering over 1,500 likes in a day (shown below).

Online Reactions

As the controversy spread in mid-May 2024, Shizzy received both backlash for his claims about the VTuber community and defense from some, with both criticism and defense getting stronger as he responded. Many of his responses resulted in racist memes and posts towards Shizzy, some of which can be seen in his response videos. The controversy also inspired posts calling Shizzy's VTuber design ugly and overdesigned.

Defense for Shizzy

On May 13th, 2024, following Shizzy's second response, X^[10] user and YouTuber @MightyKeef made a post defending Shizzy against the allegations against him, in particular the ones related to the Smash Bros. community ties, directly calling out X user @kenshirotism for claiming Shizzy was a pro player and for making the viral thread alleging his ties to the community (shown below).

On May 14th, @MightyKeef and @Kenshirotism got into an argument on X^[11] about the allegations, with @MightyKeef demanding further proof and @Kenshirotism seemingly unable to provide any (shown below).
